CME Policy Statement of Educational Need
A Scientific Program Committee of 21 scientists and clinicians reviewed previous feedback, the literature, and personal experiences, to identify the educational needs and topics to cover. Due to the diverse, clinically focused educational offering to international clinicians of all levels, participants can tailor a personal program to meet their own educational needs. Delegates should have their interests covered during the various sessions of WOC2018 from general ophthalmology to their dedicated subspecialty area.
